"Pain...
If only everyone could have such a reliable friend.
Never abandoning,
never sneaky or false.
Pain, hmm,
The epitome of loyalty."
This quote really struck me. It's relentlessly true and was just one of those quotes that made me think so much that I could right an essay out of my thoughts.
Pain is one of those things that follows us throughout our lives. It doesn't matter who we are, what we are, our gender, race, age, what our financial or health situation is, what we've done, who we've been with...the list goes on for every difference there is between us. We all feel pain and we all have our different ways of dealing with it; taking it out on ourselves or others, bottling it up and keeping it hidden within us so we can be slowly (or quickly) eaten apart by it, letting it out constructively or destructively, or (rarely) finding the strength to deal with it, understand it, and move on! The last option is by far the hardest and rarest among the human race. But those who can do it will never regret that ability. Not really. What so few people realize (or even if they realize it, they don't act on it) is that there is a chain of pain. One that passes from one victim to the next. The only way to stop the chain is by overcoming the pain and not letting it destroy your life or anyone else's. To be honest, I had not even realized this until I read that quote. The author has a way of communication unlike anything else I have ever known. And part of this is because his life is filled to the brim with pain. And yet....he is one of those people who has that incredible strength and knows how to deal with all of that pain without letting it carry out its eternal mission: to spread like the disease that it is.
My point in all of this is simple:
If there were just more people out there who could find those rusted links and break through them, that damned murderous chain could be stopped and destroyed.
I know that I'm just some girl that most people here don't know. But I really hope that some will read this and at least think about once after they have logged off for the day. My thoughts were shortened now, because I have exams to study for, but I think that I summarized my ideas well enough to make a point. So please, comment if this entry meant anything to you...I look forward to hearing what you have to say.
